Rain cancels Sprint Cup, Xfinity qualifying

In 2014, Keselowski also made news at Kentucky by cutting his right hand while opening a champagne bottle in Victory Lane after his Cup win. Despite five top-10s in his last 10 starts including sixth in Monday morning’s wild ending at Daytona, he has led just one lap in his past seven races.

Kyle Busch (Toyota) was third after leading a race-high 88 laps, with Daniel Suarez (Toyota) fourth and Elliott Sadler (Ford) fifth.

Chris Buescher finished 11th and extended his advantage to 36 points over Chase Elliott in the standings through 16 XFINITY Series races.

Happy Hour at Kentucky Speedway mirrored the first practice with Kyle Larson and Brad Keselowski posting the top speeds, respectively.

Already working on an investigation of Dillon’s accident, NASCAR on Friday was awaiting the arrival of the remains of Kennedy’s truck at its research and development center in Concord to take a closer look into that accident as well. If you think that someone else is going to win the race be sure to let us know via one of our social media accounts which can be found below.

Despite NASCAR attempting to offer the Sprint Cup Series additional track time for teams to acclimate to the lower downforce package on Wednesday and Thursday, rain prevented crews from shaking down the cars.

However, while the Sprint Cup Series hasn’t been to Kentucky Speedway this year, it has visited several similar tracks that we can rely on for information.

Despite a heroic effort on the final lap by Jones, Keselowski held on for the victory in Friday night’s Kentucky 300 at Kentucky Speedway. “That would be disappointing, as far as the stats go, but we’d just like a good strong finish and a chance to close it out”.

“Its not like if we dont win, Im going to be super disappointed. “By being able to hang onto second (place), that put me in position to really work over Erik and capitalize on the opportunity at the end”. That beat the 181.641 posted by Brad Keselowski in the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford.

The crash occurred just three days after Austin Dillon’s harrowing incident at Daytona global Speedway, in which his vehicle was sent flipping into the catchfence on the final lap.

“I think the package is fine, it’s the same for everybody”.

A Gordon win wouldn’t just mean something to Gordon, it would be a good thing for the track in Kentucky.

Bad weather threatens to disrupt the test, but O’Donnell said if that happens, teams will be granted additional practice time Thursday. It was his first pole in the series since 2006 when he drove a No. 18 Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Lap Leaders: M. Crafton 0; T. Reddick 1-4; D. And, how Id like to win here because I never have.

Qualifying had been scheduled for Friday afternoon, but rain and a leaky track forced NASCAR to change its plan. “It’s been that way for as long as I can remember, and then they set the field by the practice speeds”.
